Affinity vs Granite
Affinity Solid Surfaces Tech Specs



Affinity solid surface is a unique blend of mineral fillers and resins creating a non-porous material that looks like stone but cuts like wood. The pattern goes completely through providing both a beautiful surface and one that is completely renewable.
